I beg to disagree on these being cheaply made. I have been through this entire fan excluding the fan motor which needed nothing more than a good oiling and find it very well done up in its complexity. The fan not only oscillates but is easily adjustable to move it more to one side than another with the lever in back. No offence, but these are easily as well made as the Vornado and we all agree that it is well made. Walker McVea
